Hi everyone,

I've cc'd all our student interns. This is an introduction email, in preparation for the code sprint this weekend.

We're glad you could join us to help improve Freeseer. We're a small team, but every school semester we're joined by many students, and some choose to stay on the project as active contributors. We have a total of 19 student interns this time, our largest number so far. A couple of students won't be at the sprint, due to a limited travel budget.

Please read through our student documentation: http://freeseer.github.com/docs/contribute/students.html. It contains some steps on what to do next.

Cheers,
Dennis

P.S. I've attached a list of all our students this semester. If you are receiving this email (and are thus on our list) but you're not part of the Freeseer team, let me know and I'll remove you from the list.

Hi,
in the spirit of introductions: I'm Jakub and I'm from the Jagiellonian University.
My github username is nkait.
I chose freeseer because it has a pretty reasonably sized codebase, is written in python
and generally seems pretty cool.
I enjoy archery, computer games and algorithmic problems.
Cheers,
Jakub

My name is Lloyd Johnston from the University of Regina. This is my first attempt and working with this scale of coding, likely making me the least experienced person on the team.

Welcome all.

Hello all,
my name is Aaron and I'm from Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario.
My github username is aaron-bru.
I chose freeseer because I think it's really useful, it's written in Python and I think video processing is interesting.
I hope to get experience contributing code to a project and learn about Qt and gstreamer + whatever else is relevant to this project.

About me: In computing I enjoy low level programming and math (algorithms). Outside of computing I enjoy travelling, making music and cycling.
-Aaron

Well Hi "FREE-SEE-R" enthusiasts,


I'll go ahead and try to present myself too.

I'm currently at my last year of undergraduate CS in network and systems
curriculum at University of Sherbrooke, in Québec province.

I come from an IT background, I did a cégep technical program on network
administration, then got a really good job for 4 years as a sysadmin
with Arkys Systems (www.arkys.com). I left my job to undertake
university in 2009.

Aside from nasty computers, I live and breath for hardcore tekno music.
We are a sound system crew called Abitek (www.abitek.org), we run our
own speakers and generator then invite our dj friends to play over in
the forest.

So there it is, networks and music. I happen to have made a couple
patches submission for the dj software I use, xwax (www.xwax.org). I got
one accepted last year, great feeling to get a new (albeit extremely
small) feature included mainline in an open source software I use everyday.

From my background you can easily tell why I got on Freeseer project.

I like lean and mean software, embedded stuff, and real-time audio mayhem...

Shameless plug for a technical applied computer security event I'm part
of, NorthSec (used to be called Hackus for the first two editions).
It will take place at École de technologie supérieure in Montreal on
April 5-6-7. Détails at https://www.nsec.io/en/.
Get a team and register quick!

So long,

Olivier

My name is Camilo Bernal from the University of Toronto, my github username is cabernal.  I chose Freeseer because I can see myself using it often for a variety of tasks. I hope to get more familiar with the Qt and GStreamer frameworks as I see them being used a lot in open source projects.

Hi Everyone!

The name is Arto Puikkonen from the  Tampere University of Technology in Finland. I'm a PhD student and been in the working life for the past 5 years - Doing UX and UI work in various projects.

I chose Freeseer cause I found Freeseer to be really neat and could think of use cases for it for myself. I also wanted to be a part of a global project and a true global open source project - Doing UX and UI globally with different time zones and different cultures etc has been said to be really difficult and I wanted to try it out for myself.

I/We are gonna be in touch with you guys your user needs in the near future, so will be cool to hear what you peeps got to say :)

Hi all,

I'm Markus from Tampere University of Technology. My github username is markus-j.
I enjoy sports (ice-hockey, disc golf, snowboarding, etc.) and travelling.
I'm looking forward to work on the user experience and usability of Freeseer, and getting my first code contributions to a collaborative software project.

Hi Everyone,

I'm Panu Åkerman from Tampere University of Technology, Finland. In virtual world, i.e. in irc and github I'm known as nuPa. I have software engineering background and recently I have been working also in HCI and UX area. I'm PhD student and also working in small software company.

Freeseer was a project that I easily could be using myself. Additionally, Python+Qt is a nice technology combo. I'm interested to learn more about UX work in heavily distributed open source project and about communication of UX issues with a community.

Outside of work and research life, I enjoy family life, climbing, skiing and bicycling.

P

Hey Dennis, add me up to the list. I'll soon inform you all on my
project idea and I'll need input from you all.

My username is most of the time "oligau" for OLIvier GAUthier, how original!

Speaking of which, I'll try to keep track of patches I work for xwax
open source dj software I use. I got my first patches accepted and
tested with help of the main developer of xwax, Mark Hills from uk.
There's really nice people at xwax-devel mailing list! Anybody is
welcome to join and try it out.
